One show we want to highlight though: Friday night at ye olde Bear River Casino you have the opportunity to toe tap along with none-too-shabby working Johnny Cash tribute band Rusty Evans and Ring of Fire (get a glimpse of Rusty’s loving Man in Black impression in the video here).

But while the band looks to be quite good, we are choosing to feature the show mostly because we here at LoCO wish more local venues would put as much love into promoting their shows. For about a month now, we’ve noticed promotional videos like the one below popping up in which longtime Humboldt musician and new BRC entertainment booker Halsey Ray attempts to earnestly YouTube-sell the county on that week’s casino goings-on. Uh, you should watch that. The production value may be low, but who cares? We appreciate when people, you know, go for it.

Preach on, Halsey.

Godlin Gets Behind

The Who's Tommy at the Arcata Theater Lounge. Relive how awesome the music is. Also, remember how damn awkward and strange the film itself is (Ann Margret swimming in baked beans). [$5 and under award]

My BevMo! card is pretty much the best thing in my wallet. Have you been in this place? Go check it out and sample tiny glasses of alcohol while you're there!
